Hi, I'm Bookworm73. I didn't actually write this story. My friend wrote it, and I happen to be posting it for her. She doesn't have a fanfiction account. If you like it or have any suggestions, please review it and I will relay the message to her. Also, I checked the guidelines, and there is nothing against posting the work of someone else if they ask you to.
"Ok then, we'll be having our graduation exams tomorrow, so prepare yourselves." Iruka-sensei said. He continued," The last test will be on… the cloning juitsu." The minute he said that, I was furious. I SUCKED at the cloning juitsu. Me and Naruto both. Oh, FYI, I'm Naruto's best friend, he just don't know it yet. To have so much potential, he can really be clueless about when someone wants to be his friend. Enough about me, back to the story. "I'll see you all tomorrow then, class dismissed."
I got up shakily and headed toward the door. I guess I was going to have to get my dad to help train me in my cloning juitsu if I was ever going to get good at it. I hardly recognized where I was headed until I sniffed the air and noticed my favorite smell in the world. That's right, ramen. I walked into Ichiraku's Ramen Shop and ordered my favorite, the house special with extra pork. As I sat down I noticed that Naruto was sitting on the other side of the shop staring at me. "What?" I asked him. " Oh, nothing, its just that you ordered the same ramen I always get." He replied. ' Ooooooh, I didn't know you liked it ,too." Great , now I feel awkward. " Hey, Naruto, want to come with me to the training fields, we could help each other try to do the cloning juitsu." That really cheered him up.
So, we finished and paid for our ramen and went to the training field. While we were training, the three people I hate the most shows up to crash my fun; Sasuke, Sakura, and Ino. Ughh, I hate all three of them. Sakura thinking she's the smartest. Ino trying too hard to look pretty and Sasuke who is just a downright obnoxious pig head. He thinks he has problems, believe you me, there are people worse off than he is. Just look at Naruto. Anyway, they gate crashed our training.
"What are you doing here?" Sasuke asked, "What does it look like we're doing queer?" "You'd better take watch your mouth Hatake, or you might live to regret it." "Make me Uchiha!" That's when all hell broke loose. I tried to get a left hook on him while he tried to make the same move on me. Miraculously, Naruto pushed me back while Sakura was able to restrain Sasuke. "We shouldn't fight like this." Sakura said. "Why not? It's not like there's a better time to do it." I replied. "Naara, just don't do it please, for me?" Naruto said. "Fine." As I was walking away, I remembered that we never got to work on our cloning juitsu. So all that night, I practiced doing it until almost all my chakra was depleted.
